Lower leg pain is a common problem, but it has many possible causes. If you’re experiencing pain in your lower leg, don’t simply assume it’s a cramp caused by a muscle or nerve. Sometimes, leg pain can be a sign of problems with your circulatory system.
Your vascular system is a network of veins, arteries, and capillaries. When these blood vessels become partially or completely blocked, it causes circulation problems, including pain in your legs or feet. An example of leg pain caused by vascular problems is known as peripheral artery disease. This condition causes leg pain due to the hardening and narrowing of your arteries.
If you have lower leg pain that may be related to your vascular system, you need an expert in the field of vein care. For an accurate diagnosis and effective techniques to treat leg pain or foot pain, rely on Dr. George Bolotin, the best vascular specialist in Brooklyn, NY and Bronx, NY at the Astra Vein Treatment Center. Dr. Bolotin is an accomplished Interventional Radiologist specializing in vein conditions and fibroids.
There are many different types of vascular disease that can lead to discomfort in your lower limbs or feet. Some causes of foot and leg pain include:
Your risk of having vascular problems increases if you have a family history of heart disease, diabetes or high cholesterol. While you can experience leg pain from a blood clot caused by an injury, you’re at greater risk of developing vascular abnormalities in your lower extremities if you have other high-risk factors such as:
The symptoms of circulatory problems vary, depending on which type of vascular disease you have. Some common warning signs that may indicate vascular problems include:
Vascular problems can also affect blood vessels in your feet. You may notice a swollen vein on the top of your foot or that a vein in your foot hurts. These symptoms may be related to vascular problems such as varicose veins or peripheral artery disease
Recurring leg pain or pain in your feet are symptoms that you need to take seriously. Dr. Bolotin can identify the cause of your symptoms through a series of examinations that include family history, a physical inspection of the area and imaging tests.
At this vein clinic in Brooklyn and Bronx, you’re provided with solutions that can be performed right in the office. Treatment depends on the diagnosis and your doctor’s recommendations for the best possible treatment geared specifically to your needs. Vein treatment options that help relieve pain while resolving the cause of that pain include:
Your treatment plan may include recommendations for self-care, such as elevating your feet and wearing elastic support stockings. If you’re a smoker, giving up this habit allows better blood flow to your limbs. Regular exercise helps to improve circulation. And getting treatment for underlying conditions greatly reduces your chances of developing another leg vein problem.
While your risk of vascular disease goes up as you get older, conditions involving veins and arteries can affect both seniors and young adults. These conditions affect both men and women, as well as people of all races and ethnicities including Caucasians, African Americans, Asians and Latinos.
If you have leg pain or discomfort, a swollen vein on top of your foot or another unusual condition that requires the expertise of a vascular doctor, contact the Astra Vein Treatment Center today to set up a consultation.
